Past simple

It's David Hoffman filmmaker, and I'm about to show You a clip from a documentary I made on American nursing on nurses, Toe honor nurses.

And this clip shows one of the five nurses who have been honored by an organization as great American nurses.

This guy is a cancer nurse, working, pediatric.

It's about the roughest thing I think you can do to be a nurse working with Children who have cancer, and my daughter, who is a nurse practitioner and a great filmmaker colleague John Barrett went to this place and just spent the day with this guy and heard him express himself and felt first hand.

Let me just say for the incredible job that they do it for the incredible job that this guy does.

He's going to express in this clip why it gets him down.

Boy, I understand the kinds of things he sees on a daily basis to look on these kids faces and their parents.

Tell me what you think I love the comments on.

I hope this helps you support American nursing and feel for these families.

This is Bob Wilkinson, a pediatric oncology nurse.

Bob takes care of very sick Children and their families, Children with cancer or other disorders.

She's even know the name of it is something quite precocious.

I guess mostly would think the most heart wrenching thing I I've done or do may be dealing with the death of a child, but I don't know if that's really it.

Uh, most heart heart wrenching thing is not to have the answer for a mom or dad who asked why their child has cancer.

When you're looking for answers, it's not having the answer and being able to comfort a parent.

Sometimes they don't stop talking like they do in those initial morning rounds.

Come in and go out and we go on looking what's in charge?

We haven't had a Foley catheter doing chemo.

Platelets will find him grow good this morning.

Yeah, that's what they thought initially was.

Will you be long so I could get your vital signs?

So that's what I give my kids when they're scared.

And I think one of us, I'm a solid figure on the nurse, And, uh, I'm a big guy, so I have an older guy.

So they look maybe at me like a grand poor daddy.

You got to give him ah, confidence in your voice and sincerity.

You got to give him Ah, hope, But you still have to be honest with him showing Kerry.

I mean, people feel that they see it in your eyes when you come in as a nurse of me, they'll see it in your eyes.

I've had kids told me that our parents, that's it.

My grandfather used to work a steam shovel.

You're seeing a steam shovels and dig big scoops of dirt and stuff.

He used to do that when he got new chains on a steam scoop.

He take us for a ride and put us into scoop.

Just stay in here and watch this go down Throat doing okay?

You got any sores after you in your mouth after chemo?

You got to know how the nurses feel, how the patient's feeling, how the families feel without that personal understanding.

I think you get you can get lost in the machines and the beeps and the blips cuts it down.

So every time we go in there and we mess, whether she cries, it's hard to make her feel good.

But, you know, as a nurse, you want to make him feel better.

You don't want to cry when you're doing something with thumb on the hole.

You can do something with most kids, but she's so miserable there alone or their mother or father or wife.

They're looking for you to have some kind of comfort, some kind of word and empathy, because they're going to raid drills, deal stress.

Be on the floor when they will, in any diagnosis the child and see that look on mom on a parent's face, especially your apparently is just like a kick in the gut.

But then you have to realize what are they going through and then how to deal with it.
